Nottingham Forest banter 10

10 Nov 2025 23:48:41
OK, back to reality. Some things go far beyond football. I've now raised £3,169 for my homeless Veteran client who was sleeping in his car when I first met him.

He now has a council flat and a sofa, cooker, fridge/ freezer and washing machine on order. I've also sorted payment for his flat to be carpeted.

I know many on here are now retired and have time on their hands, as I do. Try to give some of that time to help others in need my fellow Reds.

11 Nov 2025 01:00:25
I raise my hat to you legolas, we could do with you up here in Nottinghamshire. All our council do is build flats for students, which as I'm sure you are aware they can't fill. Bloody disgusting.

11 Nov 2025 07:49:44
Thanks Lego. Too many people have been left behind.

It's similar near to me. Yet another enormous block of flats has gone up, called Centre Court. So much money for it there is literally one of those tennis courts with perspex around it in the middle for students and "young professionals". Literally no new housing for veterans returning from service, people made redundant or mentally ill people waiting on treatment waiting lists with no family able to help them.

Nottm Council are a bunch of grifters, So sad.

11 Nov 2025 10:21:51
Shocking that this guy has had to endure this?
After all his Service.
I'm absolutely appalled mate.

11 Nov 2025 10:23:16
And Big Up to you Sir Lego Las!

11 Nov 2025 16:46:47
It's great what your doing Legolas 👍, it's just a shame that our Governments are willing to help anyone except our own Citizens!,. In Nottingham we have students, council houses sold in the 70s are now multi occupancy homes, it's a transient community's with no roots, and no respect for there neighbours, I love Nottingham but ain't blind to the decay, come down Mansfield Road to the centre, all the shops are vape, vape, barbers, take away, barbers, vape, take away all in my opinion "Dodgy".

11 Nov 2025 17:01:44
WOW Sir Lego, very well done my friend! I'm not only a Red Dog, but also ex Army, so thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm one of the lucky ones, I came home from doing service, found a job and now nursing myself back to health after cancer of the lung.

If I can help in any way, please do give me a shout.

11 Nov 2025 17:27:08
Well done Lego. If everyone was like you the world would be a much better place mate! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻.

11 Nov 2025 18:13:36
Well done Lego.
Amazing work matey ❤️❤️.

11 Nov 2025 22:53:44
Thanks for all of your kind replies chaps. It is, in my opinion, a national disgrace that anyone should be homeless nowadays - let alone those who have put their lives at risk serving this country. The only (former) MP who I think really cares about this issue is Johnny Mercer. I've been in touch with Johnny recently. Watch this space!

Keeff - many thanks for your kind offer of help, but I won't be asking you join me on my next charity mountain climb with your lung mate! (Sorry, Squaddie-humour which I know you'll recognise). I hope you're bearing-up and recovering well mate. Who did you serve with Keeff?

12 Nov 2025 08:40:04
Oh I might get up that mountain, determination is the key! I was RCT 2 Div Bunda in Germany and then a couple of places I shouldn't mention lol
Did some tours with some very special people, taught me a lot really. Some of my former buddies came home in bad ways, so I get the idea about what you do mate!

12 Nov 2025 18:29:55
Lego, I m trying to ignore the 2 thumbs down appended to your worthy post by some moronic half wit (s).
Sometimes I despair mate ……….

12 Nov 2025 22:18:33
Some people don't like our past and what my dad and grandad, plus all your families fought for stokey, they have no respect.

10 Nov 2025 20:39:27
Pleased for Hutchinson and glad to see him have an impact on the game, he seems an honest professional. However let me put things into perspective, we paid £37M for him (that's 37 x Trevor Francis! ) so I would expect him to have an impact on games both at home and away.

When he's done what he did on Sunday in 10 games and he gets us out of the bottom two I'll start raving about him on here and start drawing comparisons with some of the great wingers we've had in the past. Fair comment?

10 Nov 2025 22:55:19
Not really a pint of beer was about 40p in 1979.

And inflation in football since then has been higher.

I thought he did well when he came on against Sunderland. He needs and now surely deserves game time. that's the only way he is going to kick on. I am sure he will be in the next European squad after the group stages. So till then I am hoping he gets plenty of minutes in the league. The other wingers can play against Malmo etc.

At last. One of our summer signings becoming worthwile.

If Luis can get his fitness sorted he will undoubtedly be an asset going forward. Think Jesus will come good to.

All in all with Aina to come back and the left back from Brazil coming in after xmas, we should kick on and put any worries about relegation behind us in the not too distant.

11 Nov 2025 16:20:26
Compering players from the past is subjective, I don't begrudge modern players making as much as they can but they have got to put the effort in on the pitch;,. McAtee, Bakwa, Kalimuendo and Hutchinson will make over 15 million over there contracts, and if advised wisely will have a very comfortable life, not like in Francis's time having to get a job as a postman like Webb, Keeping these young players engaged and motivated since COVID, and the extra subs in games these days, players are trained all week for if there lucky 30 minutes game time!, and there really seems to be more injuries to players than in the past?.

10 Nov 2025 19:17:04
Others have summed-up the game perfectly - particularly Chim who in my eyes has become the new Creepy on this site with regards to his perceptive and objective post-match reports. Well done mate.

I do, however, want to comment on Hutchinson. No, he isn't the next Ronaldo Skegs, I agree. But I think he adds something that Forest haven't had for a long time. Just look at his technique. Jinky, shoulder drops, dribbling with both feet, then really fast pace over 10-20m to outpace his man and put in a good cross. Does that not remind you of a certain Scottish winger that we had in the past?!

A totally different style of play from Elanga, but equally as effective IMO. Shame he was a victim of our previous politics at Forest but I'd start him every game in the PL.

10 Nov 2025 20:18:54
I haven't said he's a bad player and I think he was OK at Ipswich all I'm saying let's give him 90 mins against a good side and let's see how he does. he has a bit of a way to go to prove he's worth the 37 million pound edu spent on him hopefully he will prove he's worth it.

10 Nov 2025 20:28:03
I agree, why pay so much money for the lad and keep him on the bench, he will only get better by playing and can't play in europa so give him the chance in the prem and give him a some games to find a bit if consistency, he is more used to the prem than some of the other buys.

10 Nov 2025 23:14:27
I agree that was a big fee we paid for the guy. However, I'm going to stick my head on the block and predict that Hutchinson will be a big part of the new-dawn for us.

Some of you may now agree with my previous posts months ago that us letting Elanga go was lunacy. However, I hope Hutchinson will make some amends for that very poor decision.

10 Nov 2025 23:48:56
Hi Ed, Every time I go to go on this site, it comes up "Bad Error"?
However when I look it up on Google and choose the Live Chat opinion, only then does it let me on?
Any suggestions mate?

10 Nov 2025 19:16:11
Just a couple of tactical points from yesterday comrades, having re watched the game on Forest TV away from the emotion on the day.
Firstly, I loved SD's use of subs to change the course of a game. No penny packets and early with 30 plus injury time to work in. The managerial experience to read the game, see the flagging players and introduce 3 sets of fresh legs. At a decisive stage, a bit like Wellington at Waterloo ordering the Brigade of Guards to stand up from where they'd been hiding in a tall cornfield and fire a decisive mass volley into the advancing Imperial Guard.
"Now, Maitland ( the Commander) now's your time". Dyche is not a dithering coach and will never die wondering.
Secondly, he's got them all working hard. Particularly players like Ndoye who always seemed a bit idle under Ange. He covered young Savona, likewise Dominquez on the other side, tucking in, so out of possession we were 4 5, 1, difficult to break the lines, like Nuno at his best.


Thirdly, I was surprised there wasn't a ferocious pressing game when Leeds played out from the back, a Farke obsession. Brighton destroyed them doing that last week and could have been 4 nil up at half time ( they won 3 nil in the end). Perhaps SD recognised ( especially with no wholesale team lineup changes from Graz, injuries etc) they should eschew the full on press and save energy sitting back a bit. Forest certainly got stronger as the game went on. Malenkovic and Murillo looked much more comfortable again. Sels didn't have much to do overall ( and, come on guys, their goal wasn't his fault. The shot was well out of his reach. Who do some of you think he is, Inspector Gadget? 😂
So, a long way to go. Liverpool next but before then, 2 weeks intensive coaching with a big chunk of the squad and a chance to get some injured players back in action ( Luiz, Wood, CHO etc) COYR!

10 Nov 2025 20:36:19
Meanwhile back at the ranch. 🤣 nah stokey. , very good ish.

10 Nov 2025 21:30:46
Great post Stokey. You boring person.

11 Nov 2025 17:28:48
I’m trying to patent my posts as a cure for insomnia Lego. How was it for you mate? 😂😂💤💤💤💤💤.

11 Nov 2025 20:29:44
As usual, your post worked a treat Stokey. I've only just woken up.

10 Nov 2025 16:19:49
Team to play Liverpool and beat them

4-2-3-1

Sels

Savona
Milenkovic
Murrilo
Williams

Sangare
Anderson

Hutchinson
MGW
Ndoye

Wood

subs Victor Hudson Odoi Jesus Dominguez Awoniyi Morato Abbott Yates.

10 Nov 2025 17:16:48
May as well stick Kalimuendo on the bench as well and use the full compliment of subs.

10 Nov 2025 19:17:55
I'd play without a striker and crowd midfield.

10 Nov 2025 19:40:29
Mate?
It's Kilamanjaro!
🙄.

10 Nov 2025 21:39:16
Well it’s a mountain to climb in Liverpool.

11 Nov 2025 07:26:36
Think we'll catch them "Stone" cold!
🤭.

11 Nov 2025 07:38:07
Without game time he will never get to "Peak" fitness.

11 Nov 2025 08:01:05
Might as well start Taiwo against his old club. Players always score against their old club is a cliché, but is annoyingly true against our old players.

I would use Ndoye against Liverpool, he might manage to set up a goal or score but most of all he is good at tracking back, works hard and almost looks like a FB playing as a winger at times.

11 Nov 2025 17:31:23
Let’s hope he scores an “avalanche “ of goals! He’ll need some support and “alp” along the way though. 🙄🙄.

10 Nov 2025 15:24:15
Dyche on Omari Hutchinson beng left out of the Europa squad:

“I don’t think he was left out of the Europa League squad, he wasn’t included. There is a difference between being left out and not being included. It was before my time. ”

Err, no Sean, there is no difference whatsoever. I'd leave semantics well alone and stick to football coaching mate! 🤣.

10 Nov 2025 15:43:25
Dyche: “I said: ‘Lads, these are the fixtures. You are all the players, I’m the manager and this is the staff, we are the only ones who can change things, no one else. ’

Err, no Sean, my mate Jay said it is all down to Edu! He's always right and knows everso much about football, so you have to be completely wrong. 😆.

10 Nov 2025 17:02:31
It's really lovely how you spend all day looking up things to try and prove me wrong cyclist I am getting a bit worried that you are becoming some sort of stalker 🤣🤣 I wish I had so much time on my hands anyway mate not only did he not get picked for Europe he's not really started a game under 3 managers in tge Premier league mate that pretty much proves nuno right he's had 1 good game against a poor championship Leeds team and he now is Ronaldo 🤣🤣 edu out.

11 Nov 2025 08:03:11
I don't reckon he's like Ronaldo. The truth is I think Jair Cunha and Hutch were ideal to play in Europa to give the Prem players a rest and get minutes. That's why Nuno was wrong.

11 Nov 2025 14:33:40
Cyclist let it go pal 🤣🤣🤣.

11 Nov 2025 22:07:11
I'm sure Derby fans think it was a great decision.

Wonder what Eliot is thinking.? mmmn.

10 Nov 2025 16:17:57
He's thinking. I'll Close my eyes and think of Bowie again. 🤣🤣.

You know what Geordies are like, gi us a kiss marrow!

Balloons maybe we could forgive him for thinking Yates has one of those "kiss me quick" hats on. 🎩🌳.

Song from 'Oaklahoma'- 'Out of my Dreams', (and into my arms). Oh memories!

10 Nov 2025 20:37:40
🤣🤣🤣 larry.

10 Nov 2025 08:56:10
Liverpool next after the break gives us a chance to get some of our injured players back

Hutchinson looks like a proper winger and he and Ndoye created all three of the goals as good wingers should

Just a mention to Murrilo for that peach of a 60 yard pass for the second goal

Also a shout out for our most consistent player Neco Williams he is powered by Duracell batteries he never stops great player.

10 Nov 2025 09:54:22
Very true mate, Williams has been non stop, and Murrillo well, I've always said he's a great player, who can pick a pass, such a shame MOTD never picked up on it.

10 Nov 2025 10:08:55
And he did it from the LB position 🤔🤔🤡.

10 Nov 2025 12:50:54
Great to see some proper wing play yesterday, forward facing taking on the player terrifies defender's, CHI Will have to book his ideas up to keep his place!, got some competition now for his position!.

10 Nov 2025 13:07:02
Told you he’s a left back Jester shades of Roberto Carlos 😂.

10 Nov 2025 13:13:51
Jester, you bad lad! 😂😂😂😂.

10 Nov 2025 18:51:22
He's a centre back jester
You'll never see him play left back
Let it go 😁😂😂.

10 Nov 2025 21:34:02
That's funny didn't he establish himself has left back at the corinthians and I'm sure his first game at forest was at left back just saying dtp you need to get your facts right before you comment.

11 Nov 2025 10:35:36
No skeggs he played just 12 games for them at centre back alongside his hero Gil
He started out as a striker as a youngster then moved back to midfield before settling as a centre back.

09 Nov 2025 23:13:01
I wonder what the odds were today for Sangare scoring his first ever goal for us, MGW hitting the target and Ando getting his first of season. 🌳.

10 Nov 2025 08:32:19
33/ 1 on betfred.

10 Nov 2025 11:36:21
And EDs what happened to my sightings picture? Thought it was brilliant😉.

{Ed033's Note - Yes, brilliant.

10 Nov 2025 12:51:56
Thank you Ed👍🌳.

09 Nov 2025 21:35:52
🤣🤣🤣 like watching squid games on here. Who's next for elimination?

09 Nov 2025 22:08:31
No idea but a few have begged to be released by edd and come back lately 😁.

09 Nov 2025 22:25:19
Erm, begged? And there was me trying to be half decent to ya. 🤣 remember you begging after the sheep game.

09 Nov 2025 22:29:50
Hair today gone tomorrow, wait that's our managerial team🤣🌳.

09 Nov 2025 22:45:15
And Bowie mate don't bite, he's got his big wooden spoon out again, mind boggles at the thought of where that's been😉🌳.

09 Nov 2025 22:45:31
I never mentioned names tbh.

10 Nov 2025 07:35:00
A wiseman once said, A lot of what people say is often a reflection of themselves.

10 Nov 2025 10:10:40
That's a frightening thought that's why there's no mirrors around MG16.

10 Nov 2025 17:00:23
An even wiser man once said, a lot of what people say is total bollox!

09 Nov 2025 20:52:22
Some on here love to bask in the glory but disappear when times are tough or get their kicks out of belittling other posters who they know everything about, according to them.
Everybody on here is entitled to their opinion about football but not about other people.
Stick to what you know and don’t try and analyse all and sundry.

09 Nov 2025 21:02:42
Fair comment Carlo, hope you enjoyed the win today. Big relief and I think shows Leeds are in. Battle to stay up. Could do with a few more sliding down the table as well.

09 Nov 2025 21:06:03
Name the glory.

09 Nov 2025 21:14:11
Well said Carlo. We know the usual suspects.

09 Nov 2025 21:21:36
So let's get this right then
It's OK for you to call marinakis and his son anything you like?
But it's not OK for anyone to call you out for that?

09 Nov 2025 21:33:37
👍 carlo.

09 Nov 2025 22:03:39
Carlo 👍🏻.

09 Nov 2025 22:18:21
I'm with you Carlo.

There’s all ready far to much effluent in our rives.

09 Nov 2025 20:22:44
There's a long way to go but Captain Dyches ship is starting to stabilise and right itself. I keep my powder dry until tomorrow when the several celebratory whiskeys have worn off.
But I'll content myself with saying " who needs Starsky when you've got Hutch"
I'm working on a new version of Rhiannon's great song called " Sean Dyche is a diamond "
Lastly, a quiz question.

without googling which famous, based on a true story film has Sean Dyche appeared in as himself?
Uuuuuuuuu redddddssss! 🤔🤪🥃🥃🥃.

09 Nov 2025 21:58:36
Sean of the dead?

10 Nov 2025 07:31:09
We hardly ever beat the teams we are "expected" to beat. Massive positive to me, even if it is a "relegation" dog-fight team.

Has the mighty Edu and Syrianos got something right? Is Hutchinson the type of player we need to beat these teams and give us the pace we have missed since Elanga?

10 Nov 2025 13:36:31
Oakham, in the words of Roy Walker, it’s a good answer but it’s not right mate. SD has a cameo role as himself in the film “Bank of Dave” starring Rory Kinnear and Hugh Bonneville in a scene set at Turf Moor along with Def Leoppard”. He’s a legend up there and deservedly so.

09 Nov 2025 20:19:00
Great win for Edu (who we all know is the reason behind everything that happens). Congrats for signing the match winner and appointing the manager who made the substitution.

Bravo 👏.

09 Nov 2025 20:20:46
Love it cyclist 😂😂.

09 Nov 2025 21:05:30
I heard the pies were warm as well today, about time Edu got that sorted….

09 Nov 2025 22:11:20
Fifteen minutes cooling off period before edible 😁😂.

10 Nov 2025 00:01:49
Apparently the mighty Edu is working on a new sponsor for Forest.

"Alpecin shampoo is formulated with caffeine to help strengthen the hair root, making it a great option if you are experiencing hair loss. "

The coaching team will be the new poster boys and will be as hairy as Rooney by the end of the season. They are going to rename the Stadium the World Famous Alpecin Stadium.

The new bill boards will all display: Support Forest, support hair growth!

Cos Edu-cation is what you need!
